Coach Info
About Me:I’m a deep believer that our Life is our curriculum - that whatever we are experiencing in our lives right now are the very things that have the opportunity to lead us to greater freedom, compassion, and connection.
My work stems from the knowing that connection and love are our birthrights and that sometimes, trauma and difficult past experiences block us from experiencing these things. As a Certified Transformational & Psychedelic Integration Coach, IFS Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (in training), and Sacred Ceremonialist, I utilize a combination of subconscious and somatic healing modalities, in order to support re-patterning at the deepest levels toward healthier, more connected and aligned ways of living. My work interweaves spiritual teachings and teachings from the Sacred Medicines to help us remember our way home to ourselves, each other, and the larger web of Life. It’s my joy and honor to be here with you ♡

Overview of Protocol:When deciding to embark upon a psychedelic journey for healing, the level of preparation for and integration from the experience is directly tied to the depth and length of its impact. Psychedelics are a powerful tool. But they’re just that: a tool. They cannot do all of the work for us. They can show us what’s possible: how it’s possible to feel, what we’re capable of, our deep interconnectedness, and so much more. But we must do the work, day in and day out, if we want to live in the state of connectedness, power and inherent self worth that psychedelics are capable of showing us. This is where preparation & integration coaching comes in.
PREPARATION
During preparation, I help clients prepare for their journey mentally, emotionally and physically so they can best navigate the experience itself, as well as the insights and potential challenges that may arise afterwards. By preparing ahead of time for potential obstacles to healing and growth that may come after the journey, the opportunity for lasting change is much greater. In this way, integration actually begins before the psychedelic experience.Preparation coaching includes:
• Understanding your “why” for coming to the medicine
• Intention setting
• Preparation for navigating the medicine experience itself
• Beginning to explore and unearth some of the themes that may come up during the
journey, some of which are unique to the individual, and some that are more universal
• Planning for integration (getting clear on the lifestyle and other changes that can help you make the most out of you medicine journey)INTEGRATION
“Integration is an essential part of psychedelic journeys if one wants their results in the process of healing and change to last. It sets the stage for new things to spring and grow and extends the insights and healing gained through medicine work into the mind and life of an individual. Without integration, these experiences just come and go with little to no lasting benefit. [Psychedelic] experiences open the door to real change, but the degree of benefit, lasting rewards, and results come through integration.” ~ Deanne Adamson, Founder of Being True to YouPsychedelics can play an incredibly powerful and transformative role in our healing and growth. They can help us heal old wounds, have new realizations about our behaviors and ways of being and act as a catalyst for profound change within ourselves and our lives. How powerful and how long-lasting those shifts are depends on how well we are able to integrate the experience back into our lives. True integration from a psychedelic experience allows us to translate what we’ve come to see and understand during our psychedelic experience into actionable and sustainable change.
Psychedelic integration coaching may include methods such as:
• Traditional life coaching techniques. These include intention and goal setting, holding space for the client to process their experience, active listening, asking powerful questions, reflection, accountability, and more.
• Mindfulness and somatic techniques. These include mindfulness techniques, breathwork, body scans, awareness of bodily sensations, breath and more. These techniques not only set the groundwork for a consistent daily meditative practice, but allow the client to reconnect with, ground into and listen to their bodies, both within and outside of the medicine journey.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is a technique that recognizes that each of us has various sub-personalities or parts of our psyches, referred to as “parts.” As we experience traumas of all sizes, particularly in our youth, these parts take on burdens, or roles that often create less-than-ideal beliefs, patterns or ways of being within us. IFS allows us to access these parts subconsciously, thereby helping us to unburden them, heal our internal system, unblock obstacles we may be facing and move forward in creating an intentional life.
• Heart-centered communication. This technique is a powerful form of uncovering beliefs from childhood and the patterns that stem from those beliefs. By revisiting the memories or moments during which those feelings began, the client is able to re-parent themselves and begin to heal the root emotions.Photos

I recently had the privilege of working with Alexis as my guide for a transformative ceremony, and I am incredibly grateful for the profound experience she facilitated. From start to finish, her presence and expertise were truly transformative. She created a safe and welcoming environment from the very beginning. The package she offered included not just the ceremony itself, but also an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy session that was invaluable in helping me prepare mentally and emotionally. This session allowed me to explore and understand the different parts of myself, laying a strong foundation for the journey ahead. During the ceremony, she was the perfect guide, navigating the experience with grace and wisdom. Her ability to hold space was nothing short of remarkable. She was attentive, compassionate, and intuitive, knowing exactly when to step in and when to give me the space to navigate my own inner landscape. I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. The integration session following the ceremony was equally impactful. She helped me to unpack the insights and experiences I gained during the journey, providing practical tools and guidance for bringing these lessons into my daily life. This session was crucial in helping me to make sense of the experience and integrate the profound shifts I felt. In every aspect of the process, Alexis was professional, caring, and deeply knowledgeable. Her holistic approach, combining therapeutic techniques like IFS with a thoughtful ceremonial experience, created a truly unique and life-changing journey. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a safe, guided, and transformative path! Even though I am living far away from LA, I know that I will work with her again!
I have been in therapy and treatment for over a decade, and Alexis is without a doubt the best healer I have ever worked with. Aside from her kindness, unparalleled generosity and compassion, and deep wisdom, Alexis has helped me push past merely thinking my way out of my issues, and somatically transforming the way I feel about myself at my core. Since working with Alexis, I have finally learned to build the self-esteem I need to have healthy boundaries in relationships, to stop perpetually punishing myself, and to know that I deserve love. I came to Alexis at a time of acute CPTSD symptoms in my life; I was barely functioning, and was stuck in an abusive relationship that I felt I could never leave (and that I believed was all I deserved). Alexis has helped me to communicate with my inner child, understand the emotional roots of my core beliefs, and help to transform them and build much healthier cognitive and behavioural patterns. I have since felt confident, left the abusive relationship, learned how to stand up for myself, and am feeling truly positive about my future, with a much more self-compassionate and hopeful view of not only my life, but the world. I’ve recommended Alexis to many friends, for I know she’ll be able to change their lives as much as she has changed mine!
To put it simply — working with Alexis changed my life. I met her when I knew, intuitively but unconsciously, that my soul sought expansion and growth, but I was stuck. Alexis, with her spirit and wisdom, enabled that expansion to occur. Her work is personalized, multi-modal, deeply empathetic, and profoundly insightful. We’ve done everything from IFS to somatic work; we’ve had raw conversations; she’s encouraged and ushered both spiritual and tactical changes in my life. Our work has deepened my understanding of myself and set my life on a new course. I know myself better; I am clearer in my goals; I am more effectively able to navigate my own mind; I love myself more, and I can more freely and safely give that love out to others. Our sessions are the best gift I have ever given myself, and I could not recommend her more emphatically. If you have the opportunity to work with Alexis, take it. She is a caring, compassionate, and brilliant person & a healer in every sense of the word.
I started seeing Alexis as my ketamine integration coach at the start of 2024, but I’ve continued seeing her as my IFS coach and for nervous system and general healing. When I first came to her, I felt defeated in several areas of my life, overwhelmed by a constant state of crisis. Now, I often enter our sessions after having a great week, sometimes unsure of what to discuss. This shift has allowed us to focus on expansion and personal growth rather than crisis management. Regardless of what we end up exploring, I always leave the session feeling better than when I entered, and I truly look forward to our appointments.
Alexis’s expertise and empathetic nature create a safe and nurturing environment where it feels easy to be vulnerable. She has an incredible gift for meeting you exactly where you are on your healing journey and guiding you gently forward. Her approach is always compassionate and non-judgmental, making the entire process feel respectful and empowering. Even my regular therapist acknowledges the benefits of my IFS sessions and often suggests bringing certain issues to Alexis. It feels like I experience a breakthrough every session. Her skillful and compassionate coaching has brought about a level of personal growth and a growing sense of peace that I had long been striving for. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone seeking deep and lasting healing who may feel like they are spinning their wheels with traditional methods. She WILL guide you to whatever modality and pace is best for your system.
I feel so very grateful to have had the chance to work with Ali. With lots of new research coming out about the benefits of working intentionally with psychedelics I was curious to have an intentional journey of my own. I didn’t know what to expect going into our first meeting but after our call I knew I was in good hands. Before the actual journey Ali helped me identify important themes and intentions that were floating around in my conscious and unconscious mind. She took the proper logistical steps and provided a space that made me feel both physically and emotionally safe during the ceremony. After the ceremony, the integration of my journey far exceeded my expectations. Working with the IFS system, and her intuitive awareness, I was left with a feeling of understanding and compassion for myself.
I cannot overstate the importance of Alexis in this season of my life. She’s an amazing active listener, has great intuition on what your body and mind sometimes can’t emote, and has the incredible gift of pacing and compassion. I’m a hyper-productive, burn-out type with a healthy dose of pragmatism; Alexis always helped me approach each problem with realism, compassion, and super groundedness. Truly, her counsel has been transformative and has helped me rise from a place of great depression and anxiety, closer to acceptance and celebration of myself. I really could not recommend her enough!
I am forever grateful for my time working with Alexis. I looked forward to our calls and always felt so much better after them. She taught me so much, and helped me in so many ways and I am forever grateful for her. I know I will continue to use the guidance that she taught me and I am forever grateful for her.
I recently had the privilege of working with Alexis, and I can’t express how grateful I am for the positive impact she has had on my healing journey. From the moment we spoke in person, I felt welcomed and understood, setting the tone for a healing journey that was deeply transformative. Alexis is a compassionate and empathetic coach who genuinely cares about her clients. She possess an exceptional ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my most personal thoughts and emotions. This atmosphere of trust allowed me to open up and explore my challenges with vulnerability. She tailored her therapeutic techniques to meet my specific needs, drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities like Internal Family Systems which was very helpful. Alexis is a wonderful coach, If you’re searching for a someone who combines compassion, expertise, and a genuine commitment to your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Alexis. I am deeply thankful for the positive changes she helped me achieve. I look forward to continuing my therapeutic journey with her.
I love working with Alexis so much! It has been about a year of coaching with her and she has been a wonderful resource and space holder for me. The tools and modalities she uses have been helpful for plant medicine integration and deep work surrounding trauma and uncovering truth and shame. I had never done IFS before, but it’s been a wonderful tool that Alexis facilitates.
Alexis is incredibly talented at hearing and seeing you and her intuition is incredibly strong. Sessions can address a current situation you are going through or can be the building blocks for creating long term goals. Alexis has helped me through so much and has given me a space to express myself and I appreciate her wisdom and nonjudgmental approach that creates the safest space. I also love checking in with her when things are flowing with ease in my life. Highly highly recommend booking for sessions with Alexis!
Working with Alexis has been life changing. She has supported me through many plant medicine journeys with her preparation and integration sessions, as well as many big life transitions.
My work with her has served as a safe space and a honest mirror. She holds space with grace, love, compassion, and deep integrity.
I’m always amazed at how even the sessions I show up for where I feel I might have nothing to talk about end up being some of our deepest sessions.
Her ability to listen to the subtleties and ask me questions that shift my perspective is one of her many gifts.
Since working with Alexis I’ve become more self aware and more self accepting. I look forward to my sessions with her every week because the benefits of them are truly nourishing every aspect of my life.
She is full of wisdom and is someone who is truly dancing the dance. I cannot recommend working Alexis enough!
Alexis has been an integral part of my healing journey. I was first introduced to Alexis as a psychedelic integration coach when I started Ketamine infusion therapy. She understood the path towards healing and the use of psychedelics in that healing journey. She helped me make sense of the powerful images, messages, sensations and thoughts that I received during the Ketamine treatments.
Alexis, takes “active listening” to another level. Her essence is full of compassion and empathy. She never judges or tells you what you “should” do. She gives the best advice by not giving any advice at all. Instead she asks questions and helps you find the answers that your true self feels completely aligned with. She never criticizes or makes me feel bad for shortcomings or the “failure” of an action plan that I didn’t act upon.
After my Ketamine sessions I retained Alexis for her life coaching and IFS services. She has been my life coach for about a year now and with her help and support I was able to overcome addictions, depression and even my career/financial goals has seen a night and day improvement. I have been steadily improving my relationships with the people in my life but especially the relationship with myself. My life has truly transformed for the better and I could not done it with her help.
If anyone has the chance to work with Alexis, I highly recommend her.
